Tobias Ellwood says PM has a lot of work to do, with change of direction needed by October party conference
in a vote on his leadership on Monday night, after weeks of anger over lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street and fears the party’s direction is causing a slump at the polls.
A landmark review of NHS leadership, intended to “level up” failing trusts, is also expected to report this week. On Tuesday morning, Johnson will tell his cabinet of new plans in the coming weeks to ease childcare costs – widely briefed as allowing carers to take on more children. “Today, I pledge to continue delivering on these priorities. We are on the side of hard-working British people, and we are going to get on with the job.”
“Let’s do things that appeal to the country and not just to our base – more exciting policies than the privatisation of Channel 4 and bringing back imperial measurements, but a real economic strategy that’s actually going to help tackle the cost of living crisis.”
